HEALTHY LIVING

In December 2015, Town Council approved a Healthy Eating Environment Policy to create healthy food environments by increasing access to and consumption of healthy foods and beverages within municipal settings, making the healthy choice, the easy choice.

IS PHYSICAL ACTIVITY FOR EVERYONE?

Yes! People of all ages and body types will benefit from physical activity. Even if you feel out-of-shape or haven't been active in a long time, you can find activities that will work for you.

PARENTS & CHILDREN

Parents play a large role as models for positive physical activity behaviour. Let your children see you participate in physical activity, as well as incorporating it into quality time with your family.
